===== Discussion =====

Deployment is the controlled process of placing, configuring, integrating, verifying, and making a system, service, software artifact, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:m:machine_image|Machine Image]], or infrastructure capability available within a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:t:target_environment|Target Environment]].

The process may include resource creation, artifact transfer, installation, configuration, service activation, dependency resolution, verification, registration, and operational handover.

Deployment differs from an [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:image_build|Image Build]]. An Image Build produces a Machine Image, while Deployment places or realizes an artifact or capability in a Target Environment.

[[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:i:infrastructure_deployment|Infrastructure Deployment]] is a specialized Deployment that realizes infrastructure resources from an Infrastructure Definition.

===== Definition =====

//controlled process of placing, configuring, integrating, verifying, and making a system, service, software artifact, machine image, or infrastructure capability available within a target environment//

===== Source =====

Generalized from software engineering, systems engineering, release management, platform engineering, and infrastructure automation usage and specialized for the Crucible architecture and operational model.

===== Note =====

Deployment does not necessarily imply release to production or approval for operational use. A Deployment may target development, test, staging, production, recovery, connected, disconnected, or air-gapped environments.

A successful Deployment does not by itself establish compliance, accreditation, or [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:o:operational_approval|Operational Approval]].

===== Example =====

Crucible uploads a verified Machine Image, creates the required infrastructure, configures [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:k::kubernetes]] services, verifies node status, and makes the resulting cluster available in the selected Target Environment.
